Jesus told His followers:\n\n. . . as ye go,<br> preach saying,<br> the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.\nHeal the sick,<br> cleanse the lepers,<br> raise the dead,<br> cast out devils; freely ye have\nreceived,<br> freely give. (Matthew 10:7-8)\n\nThe message of the Kingdom is not in words only. The demonstration of God's power\nmust accompany the verbal presentation. This was evident in the example set by Jesus:\nAnd Jesus went about all the cities and villages,<br> teaching in their synagogues,<br>\nand preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom,<br> and healing every sickness and\nevery disease among the people. (Matthew 9:35)\n\nAnd the people,<br> when they knew it,<br> followed Him: and He received them,<br>\nand spake unto them of the Kingdom of God,<br> and healed them that had need\nof healing. (Luke 9:11)\n\nThe demonstration of power--miracles and healing--is the Kingdom of God in action. It\nis to be part of the message of evangelism. Paul said:\nFor the Kingdom of God is not in word,<br> but in power.\n(I Corinthians 4:20)\n\n.\n",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"secondtag\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemjs-test!\" " |
